The Shawn Commey Podcast

I start this episode by doing something completely unnecessary: ranking the countries I’ll be hating on during the World Cup 😭. But somewhere between the banter, the rivalries and praying on certain teams’ downfall, I realized something — hate can overcrowd your judgment. This year has had some painful sports moments for me. Man United went trophyless, the Celtics came up short, the Patriots lost...

The Boston Celtics have been eliminated in the first round for the first time since 2021, and I am not happy. Bayern and Paris Saint Germain epic showdown also has lessons we can apply in our lives

Jaylen Brown and Derrick White seriously want me to go bald like them, Jayson Tatum is still him in this episode, we get lessons from the Boston vs Philly series and, others in round 1

Zinedine Zidane didn’t just win — he chose when to win. From a three-peat with Real Madrid to turning down chaotic clubs like Manchester United and Juventus, Zidane played the long game while the world questioned him.

From Tommy Shelby to Patrick Bateman , and even the contrast between Batman and Superman , we explore why the darker, more complex figures...

In this episode, I break down the latest stories shaking up the sports world and the deeper lessons behind them. From the drama of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, to Bam Adebayo’s unbelievable 83-point performance, and the big Maxx Crosby move to Baltimore, we look at what these moments say about pressure, perseverance, and preparation. Sports are never just about the scoreboard. Every game...

Manchester United have won six of their last seven Premier League games since the departure of Ruben Amorim. But this episode isn’t just about football — it’s about life. Sometimes the biggest improvement doesn’t come from adding something new, but from removing what’s holding you back. In this episode, I break down Manchester United’s recent form under Michael Carrick and use it as a metaphor for...

In this pilot episode, I break down the MVP debate between Cade Cunningham and Jaylen Brown — two players having elite seasons in very different ways. But this isn’t just a basketball conversation. This episode looks at what the MVP race actually tells us about leadership, perception, and recognition. Is value about building something from the ground up? Or about stepping up when everything change...
